The Rutabaga, often overlooked, is a root vegetable with a wonderful blend of earthy and subtly sweet flavors. Characterized by its large, bulbous shape and a unique purple-tinged, golden-brown skin, rutabaga's flesh is yellow-tinged with a starchy, potato-like texture. When cooked, it transforms into a tender, sweeter offering compared to its raw state which can have a slightly bitter overtone. Rutabagas can be roasted to caramelized perfection, mashed with a touch of butter for a comforting side, or blended into soups and stews to thicken and enrich winter meals. This nutritious vegetable is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, making it a hearty and healthy addition to any meal.
At Fresh Harvest we prioritize working with local producers and upholding our sourcing standards. To curate the best quality and quantity of produce we will sometimes pull from a variety of producers. We look to other growing regions for those items that are impossible or difficult to consistently grow well in our region. Any produce coming from out-of-state will be clearly labelled with it's place of origin.
